When you need some help driving a lot of LEDs, the MAX7219 is the best friend you could hope for. Many of us know that if you want to control a lot of LEDs, you'll want to use multiplexing, a technique that lets you control 64 LEDs (say) with only 16 pins (8x8). T...

The UC3717A is an improved version of the UC3717, used to switch drive the current in one winding of a bipolar stepper motor. The UC3717A has been modified to supply higher winding current, more reliable thermal protection, and improved efficiency by providing int...

The L293DNE is a quadruple high-current half-H drive designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. It is also designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and bipolar stepping motors, as well as...

This is a simple, but extremely handy board to adapt the common 10-pin ISP programmers to the smaller 6-pin ISP connections. We also designed in a 6-pin inline connector so that you can insert this board directly into a breadboard!

STMicroelectronics SemiconductorsOriginally created as SGS Thomson Microelectronics in 1987, from a merger of SGS Microelettronica and Thomas Semiconductors, and renamed to STMicroelectronics in 1998. ST is among the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturing com...

The UC3770ANG4 is a high-performance full bridge driver that offers higher current and lower saturation voltage than the UC3717 and the UC3770. Included in these devices are LS-TTL compatible logic inputs, current sense, monostable, thermal shutdown, and a power H...
